Hi Alexandre,

You should copy 'devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' on bindings doc. Adding cc here.

What is this 'device_type = "network"' for?
It seems to used in a lot of powerpc DTs, but only a couple of arm DTs.

Maybe Rob could enlighten us?

Regarding snps,pbl; using 32 here might not give you what you would except.
See comment in dwmac1000_dma_init().

The driver is hard coded to use PBL4X/PBL8X mode. Just a heads up.
